Loading Windows 2000 Problem

I loaded windows 2000 in my PC which had a windows 98 software earlier. It did not format My Harddrive and then install the 2000 which is the way I preferred. I am able to see Windows 98 files and also my personal files.

I would have liked to have a clean format and install. The software did not do it. I do know why.

To do it correctly again, I made boot floppies, But If I put the floppy in the floppy drive , the computer does not boot from the floppy drive. How do i make it to boot from the floppy drive. My Bios settings does not allow me to change anything.

My Question is

How do I format the Drive and install Windows 2000 clean??? Any help would be appreciated

What kind of PC and BIOS do you have?

You should certainly be able to change the Boot Device order.

You should also be able to boot and install from the W2K installation cd

If you can get to the DOS prompt, try doing a "Format C:" and then go through the reformatting process if you have the Windows 2000 setup disk or CD.

The 2K CD gives you the option to format when it loads.
